Alcohol

Did you know that alcohol actally increases anxiety? This is a bummer for people like me with anxiety disorder who might want to self-medicate a little. I mean, what's better after a hard day at work than taking the edge off with a few adult beverages? Or what if I just want to have a few social drinks when I'm out to dinner with friends like I did last night? You definitely pay for it the next day when your anxiety is kicked up a few notches. So what am I to do? Give up alcohol? Not likely. The only answer, of course, is to keep drinking. That's why when I woke up this morning, instead of brewing some coffee, I cracked open a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer. Clinical studies have shown Pabst to be the best beer for temorarily relieving the symptons of anxiety disorder. You might wonder what I am going to do tomorrow when I have to go back to work. I can't very well drink all day at work (or can I)? That's something to worry about later. Right now I'm too busy enjoying the cold hoppy goodness of Pabst and the fuzzy headed sense of well-being.
